Moreover, if you are still a beginner in this industry and wanted to maximize your little spaced-area then, you must grab the Horticulture Lighting Group HLG 300 V2 for lighting. This fixture is a high-intensity full spectrum white LED and it is incredibly equivalent to a 500–600-watt HPS. Take note that it uses almost 50% electricity and practically produces no heat, unlike HPS who always have heat issues when growing.

Another amazing thing about HLG 300 is that it’s absolutely perfect for a 3'x3' sq. ft. area and only draws 280 watts at the wall.

Now that you already have a background of the features of this powerful light, the next question is how about your air? Do you have air flow and have high humidity? Check the table below to guide you about this issue:

Optical Humidity 

---

REMINDER: too much moisture leads to mold, bud rot, and mildew. Remember to always make sure that there’s a breeze moving over and under plants. If possible, keep humidity low as plants approach harvest.

In your case, since you are using a lot less heat with the HLG 300 vs a 600-watt HPS, humidity levels can spike and take note that if these levels are constantly above 60%, you’re required to use a dehumidifier.

For instance, you’re in a sealed closet or you are exchanging air in your small 3x3' space and you end up using a dehumidifier. Don’t worry because you’re in good shape. Why? Because Cause with high intensity LED white light engines like the HLG 300 and HLG 550, you’re really want to run temperatures higher than HPS. But in situations when you run using a dehumidifier, it will help you a lot in letting heat up your grow room since it produces a little heat.

If you’re worried because you don’t have a dehumidifier at home, it’s alright to use other alternatives to raise the temperatures you can have a small space heater or you can seal your room up longer periods in-between air exchanges.

Lastly, another crucial thing when running high intensity LED grow lights like HLG 300 v2 is the temperature. So remember that you must ensure temperatures in your grow room to be 83–87 degrees (28–30 C.)

Why you should take note the mentioned temperatures?

---

It’s because when running a 1000watt HPS for example, you’re already producing 4,000 BTU’s of heat and high intensity lighting to your flowers. What will happen is that the flowers will stretch a little, giving space in-between the cell walls, as they grow in order to let them “breathe”. If you will follow a 78 degree temperature at an HPS garden it will guarantee you to have a dense and good size results to your flowers.

Lastly, how will you manipulate a high intensity LED garden? All you need to do is to run your grow room at 85-ish degrees (29 C.) This will make the flowers to swell and expand in order form them to “breathe”, causing space in between the cell walls for beautifulness, instead of having the cell walls grow right on top of each other and right next to each other.
